BORROWERS 

Any  resident  or  taxpayer,  or  any  non-resident 
employed  or  attending  school  in  Spokane,  may  bor¬ 
row  books  from  the  library  without  charge  on  signing 
an  application  and  an  agreement  in  the  presence  of  a 
registry  assistant. 

The  application  of  a  child  under  fourteen  years 
of  age  must  also  be  signed  by  the  parent  or  guardian. 

Applications  must  be  renewed  every  five  years;

Non-residents  may  borrow  books  on  payment  of 
$1.00  a  year  in  advance. 

A  temporary  resident  may  borrow  books  on  de- ' 
posit  of  one  dollar  or  more,  according  to  value  of 
book  drawn. 

BORROWERS’  CARDS 

Each  borrower  will  be  supplied  with  one  card. 
This  card  must  always  be  presented  when  a  book  or 
periodical  is  borrowed,  returned,  or  renewed. 

A  borower’s  card  may  be  used  at  the  central 
library  or  branch  libraries,  but  a  book  must  be  re¬ 
turned  to  the  branch  from  which  it  is  drawn. 

Each  borrower  is  responsible  for  the  use  of  his 
card,  for  all  books  charged  on  it,  and  for  all  fines 
incurred.  Cards  should  not  be  loaned. 

A  lost  card  should  be  reported  at  once.  Adult 
cards  will  be  replaced  on  payment  of  five  cents. 
Juvenile  cards  will  be  replaced  seven  days  after 
notice  of  loss,  upon  payment  of  five  Cents,  or  replaced 
without  payment  one  month  after  the  loss  is  reported. 

If  a  card  reported  lost  is  found,  even  after  a 
new  card  has  been  issued,  it  should  be  returned  to 
the  library. 

Change  of  residence  must  be  reported  to  the 
library. 


ISSUE  OF  CARDS

Only  two  books  will  be  issued  at  one  time  on  a 
juvenile  card. 

Books  are  issued  for  fourteen  days,  with  privi¬

upon  which  an  overdue  book  is  returned.

incurred,  and  a  fee  of  twenty-five  cents  for  messenger 
service.

are  in  good  condition  at  the  time  of  borrowing. 

A  borrower  must  pay  for  books  injured  or  lost 
while  charged  on  his  card. 

If  a  book  reported  lost  is  found  the  amount  paid 
for  it  will  be  refunded  upon  return  of  the  book.
